A Secret to Success as a Working Mom: Turn Burn Out Into Bliss and Embrace Joy

on
Last weekend my youngest was committed to going to the "Water Steps" a man-made water fall in Pittsburgh by the rivers. (Fun Fact: Three rivers converge in Pittsburgh--The Ohio River, The Monongahela River, and the Allegheny River.)  He kept asking. I knew he was serious when he said, "If you won't take me, I'll ask  daddy!" Given that it was highly unlikely that would happen on an unscheduled day, I relented. So, we went. It wasn’t planned in the way most things in my life are. No calendar block. No checklist. No “productive” purpose attached. And, so in some respects it was uncomfortable. And yet, it seemed necessary. It was the idea of my 8-year-old—offered with the kind of urgency only children possess when something is profoundly important to them.

Parenting, the good, the bad, the disgusting!

Motherhood has been an amazing journey. However, it requires flexibility, patience and a good sense of humor.

The other morning I found the baby in the crib with her diaper off. There was a pile of poop on the mattress, some on her hands, and on her mouth. Can you say, YUCK! Anyway, while her mom thought it was gross, she thought it was too funny.

I am desperately searching for a moral to this story.

H-E-L-P!!!
